My family researches started back in 2004 when I took partial retirement. The family in my generation is very large, My mother, her sisters and brother had 17 children, my father and his kin had 10 children, I therefore had lots of cousins.
Starting fom this base, I have now researced the Toll Family from Cornwall (my maternal grandmothers family) back to 1145ish., with many additional cousins, uncles and aunts on the way. I have made direct contact with a "Cousin" on one of the family offshoots and continue to grow the tree.
My maternal grandfathers family, the Alexanders, have been researched back to 1645ish. I am now in contact with a "Cousin" in the USA who is the grand daughter of my grandfathers sister. We have regular contact to excahange new information.
Soars, is my name and I have researched this family back to 1825, but have come across a snag.....in 1845 the name was SORES, it changed to Soars, why I cannot find out. Once again long lost cousins and an unclr and aunt have nmade contact from Australia. We are swapping information all the time.
What I would have done withoutbthe computer I do not know, it seems to be a biottomless pit of information. I continue to delve, but as my cousins in Australia say it is a Nver ending Story
